To sue for defamation in Florida, be sure to gather all evidence to prove your case of a false statement made about you that has harmed your reputation. Your evidence should include any documentation on the false statement, the publication (who made the statement and when or where it was made), and the injury, or how it has negatively impacted your life. You should keep all documentation, including screenshots of any false statements as well as termination notices from your job or denial of opportunities resulting from the skewed perception of your character.
